One of the most versatile items I knit/crochet for myself is the small shawl - aka shawlette. I like a size that wads up for stuffing into a purse, shakes out to prevent wayward breeze from chilling the neck and can still cover my shoulders as the sun sets. A scarf almost works. But it can't cover my shoulders. So, I make a lot of little shawls.
This yarn from the dye pot of Cathy over at
Twist. I love the subtle shade variation.
I knit a lot of neck warming stitches.
Now I'm making lots of holes. Holes are important. Holes allow maximum wadding of the shawl for jamming in a purse - especially during travel.
Holes also get bigger during the blocking process and give length for keeping shoulders covered when needed. I like holes.
I need to knit a lot more holes. And an edging. This Twist, yarn of intrigue, is like the forever giving skein. No matter how much has been knit, there is still a whole heap of yardage left.
PS - I'm thinking beaded edge. Just because I like beads almost as much as I like holes.
